A fire engulfed an ethnic village in Southwest China's Guizhou province Friday afternoon, with more than 60 houses destroyed, local authorities said Saturday. More than 60 properties were engulfed by the blaze, affecting 619 residents but no casualties have been reported. Jiuji village, one of the biggest and best preserved villages of the Miao ethnic minority, was selected by China as a UNESCO World Heritage site nominee in 2006. An investigation is under way.
